Re: Vortex sounds "bottled" when bypassed- ot?

I think you may have hit the nail there- so when it is in bypass it sends
signal through but with no effect- so you hear the channel signal plus the
dry signal from the aux- grrr- my old ass Yamaha mixer has these little
dials everywhere- not a push button in sight- even if there were though I'd
have to reach over and push it- man- its like I need a mixer BEFORE I even
get to my rack and then one after the rack- jeeze- I was looking at
Behringer mixers too- lots of bang for the buck there-

PS- ot- any pc users who have seen the error "Windows Protection Error" on
boot please msg me off list- I removed a partition and now I can't boot 
reg-
safe mode works but I have tried everything- no autoexec, no config,
complete scan, sys file check- I read the boot log but saw nothing
suspicious-

thx-
